Social engagement

For EKT, corporate success and social responsibility are inseparably linked. As part of our sustainability strategy, we are therefore committed as a dynamic company to social and ecological projects - above and beyond our core business as a plastics processor. 

Young people are particularly close to our hearts in our project support.

For example, EKT has been the main sponsor of the „Initiative Ironman Help Children rheumatism“ since 2013. EKT deliberately forgoes Christmas gifts for our business partners and instead donates to the Initiative Ironman Help Children rheumatism (www.ironman-hilfe-kinderrheuma.de).

We support "Fruchtalarm" as a children's cancer project: Once a week, a mobile children's cocktail bar with fresh juices rolls through the corridors of many children's cancer wards (https://www.fruchtalarm.info/).

An important concern for EKT is the area of youth sports. Here, EKT sponsors local sports clubs by providing sportswear with the company logo to make its commitment visible.

EKT maintains contact with general education schools and the Technical University OWL in order to bring young people and students closer to the exciting topic of plastics, and EKT offers internships and opportunities for study projects. In addition, EKT participates in the  "Girls Day" to introduce young women to predominantly technical "male professions" and to get them interested in the field of "plastics, the material of the future".
